WEBVTT

00:00:06.506 --> 00:00:08.258
This looks good. How does it sound?

00:00:08.258 --> 00:00:09.551
How\'s that sound?

00:00:09.551 --> 00:00:10.802
Good. We got sound,

00:00:11.886 --> 00:00:13.722
OK? We wanted the rain.

00:00:13.722 --> 00:00:15.849
Unique conditions.

00:00:15.849 --> 00:00:17.851
I\'m rolling VIDEO and rolling sound.

00:00:17.892 --> 00:00:19.728
OK, now we\'re all enjoying

00:00:19.728 --> 00:00:20.729
it. Let\'s go.

00:00:25.108 --> 00:00:26.109
The rebels.

00:00:38.038 --> 00:00:39.414
Or was that?

00:00:40.957 --> 00:00:41.958
Vice.

00:00:48.089 --> 00:00:50.717
Burns with an ecstasy.

00:00:50.717 --> 00:00:53.470
Sweet or more

00:00:53.470 --> 00:00:54.471
ice.

00:01:07.233 --> 00:01:09.152
Sometimes down the

00:01:09.152 --> 00:01:10.653
Jasper walls.

00:01:14.616 --> 00:01:15.992
Towards.

00:01:15.992 --> 00:01:17.077
Fans might.

00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:35.720
Campaign.

00:01:51.069 --> 00:01:52.070
You.

00:02:04.457 --> 00:02:05.834
When I ran to the music of Harry

00:02:05.834 --> 00:02:07.585
Potter, I was just blown away.

00:02:07.585 --> 00:02:10.213
It was the weirdest, most wonderful

00:02:10.213 --> 00:02:11.297
thing I\'d ever heard.

00:02:11.297 --> 00:02:12.674
I didn\'t even know what to do with

00:02:12.674 --> 00:02:14.551
it. Partridge Music, I didn\'t just

00:02:14.551 --> 00:02:16.553
like it. I didn\'t just love it.

00:02:16.553 --> 00:02:18.346
I lusted after it.

00:02:18.346 --> 00:02:19.848
I had to possess it.

00:02:19.848 --> 00:02:21.057
And that\'s what happens when you\'re

00:02:21.057 --> 00:02:23.059
a musician because

00:02:23.059 --> 00:02:24.602
you are simply a vessel.

00:02:24.602 --> 00:02:25.812
It doesn\'t matter if you\'re playing

00:02:25.812 --> 00:02:28.106
Beethoven or Schoenberg

00:02:28.106 --> 00:02:30.108
or a Pete Seeger

00:02:30.108 --> 00:02:30.900
song.

00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:32.694
The music comes from within

00:02:32.694 --> 00:02:34.612
and you let it come

00:02:34.612 --> 00:02:36.322
out. Everything is you become an

00:02:36.322 --> 00:02:37.615
instrument the same way that this is

00:02:37.615 --> 00:02:38.616
an instrument to me.

00:02:41.161 --> 00:02:43.538
Yeah, there\'s a lot of really

00:02:43.538 --> 00:02:44.956
fast, yeah.

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:52.005
He actually came to Southern

00:02:52.005 --> 00:02:54.090
California to study,

00:02:54.090 --> 00:02:56.426
to become a piano virtuoso,

00:02:56.426 --> 00:02:58.261
to play concertos with orchestras.

00:02:58.261 --> 00:03:00.471
He studied at USC

00:03:00.471 --> 00:03:01.681
for one semester.

00:03:03.892 --> 00:03:05.727
The music wasn\'t speak.

00:03:05.727 --> 00:03:07.562
So he ended up teaching himself

00:03:07.562 --> 00:03:09.480
out of libraries, just using library

00:03:09.522 --> 00:03:10.857
books completely again.

00:03:10.857 --> 00:03:12.692
He\'s not old Dijak, and he

00:03:12.692 --> 00:03:14.569
ran into a most amazing

00:03:14.569 --> 00:03:16.988
volume by Herman involved horse

00:03:16.988 --> 00:03:19.157
Helmholtz. In 19th century, German

00:03:19.157 --> 00:03:21.075
physicists decided he wanted to find

00:03:21.075 --> 00:03:23.578
out everything there was about music

00:03:23.578 --> 00:03:25.121
and it was. He wrote a book called

00:03:25.121 --> 00:03:27.248
On the Sensations of Tone.

00:03:28.291 --> 00:03:31.294
And in that book, he explored

00:03:31.294 --> 00:03:33.296
concepts of tuning and scale

00:03:33.296 --> 00:03:35.256
and harmony from a cultural point

00:03:35.256 --> 00:03:37.342
of view, but from an anatomical

00:03:37.342 --> 00:03:39.219
point of view. Parch read that book

00:03:39.219 --> 00:03:41.221
and that was the door

00:03:41.221 --> 00:03:43.056
that opened into a whole new world.

00:03:43.056 --> 00:03:44.474
He had written a lot of music for

00:03:44.474 --> 00:03:46.351
standard string quartet

00:03:46.392 --> 00:03:47.644
for orchestra.

00:03:47.644 --> 00:03:49.687
He put it all in a pot bellied stove

00:03:49.687 --> 00:03:51.606
in 1929 and burned it.

00:03:51.606 --> 00:03:53.107
He\'s got this famous line, he said.

00:03:53.107 --> 00:03:56.194
First and foremost, I am a composer.

00:03:56.194 --> 00:03:58.571
I am a philosophic music man

00:03:58.571 --> 00:04:00.907
who long ago

00:04:00.907 --> 00:04:04.035
was seduced into musical carpentry.

00:04:04.035 --> 00:04:06.037
My music and my instruments are

00:04:06.037 --> 00:04:07.705
the expression of an ancient

00:04:07.705 --> 00:04:09.540
tradition in which sight

00:04:09.540 --> 00:04:11.084
and sound unite toward the

00:04:11.084 --> 00:04:13.127
achievement of a single dramatic

00:04:13.127 --> 00:04:14.128
purpose.

00:04:15.004 --> 00:04:17.674
This is not concert music.

00:04:17.674 --> 00:04:19.550
It finds its highest purpose

00:04:19.550 --> 00:04:21.761
in collaboration with other arts,

00:04:21.761 --> 00:04:23.972
with dance, with tragedy,

00:04:23.972 --> 00:04:26.224
with center, with farce,

00:04:26.224 --> 00:04:28.685
and in the present instance,

00:04:28.685 --> 00:04:30.228
with the art of film,

00:04:31.396 --> 00:04:33.439
he basically went back way

00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.025
back to First Principles Music.

00:04:36.025 --> 00:04:38.111
It\'s all about human experience.

00:04:38.111 --> 00:04:40.029
The human voice and

00:04:40.029 --> 00:04:42.031
the human voice does

00:04:42.031 --> 00:04:43.908
not use the skills we find on the

00:04:43.908 --> 00:04:44.867
piano right?

00:04:44.867 --> 00:04:46.869
And glides, it goes up and down.

00:04:46.869 --> 00:04:48.788
And for that, you need smaller

00:04:48.788 --> 00:04:50.707
intervals because we speak

00:04:50.707 --> 00:04:52.709
in tiny little increments

00:04:52.709 --> 00:04:54.294
are going up and down.

00:04:54.294 --> 00:04:56.587
If we talk like this all the time,

00:04:56.587 --> 00:04:58.631
it would be like an opera, wouldn\'t

00:04:58.631 --> 00:05:00.425
it? I mean, it\'s like fake and

00:05:00.425 --> 00:05:01.634
forget it. That\'s why the

00:05:01.634 --> 00:05:02.552
microphones.

00:05:02.552 --> 00:05:04.846
So this is a copy of Harry Purchase

00:05:04.846 --> 00:05:06.723
First Cromwell Audio in a

00:05:06.723 --> 00:05:08.808
Normal Piano one two three four

00:05:08.808 --> 00:05:11.019
five six seven eight.

00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:13.021
But that\'s the scale you usually

00:05:13.021 --> 00:05:15.106
have 12 notes one two

00:05:15.106 --> 00:05:17.317
three four five six seven

00:05:17.317 --> 00:05:19.694
eight nine 12 12.

00:05:22.947 --> 00:05:24.824
There is an active.

00:05:24.824 --> 00:05:25.825
Following on that.

00:05:38.921 --> 00:05:40.757
Forty three notes per octave.

00:05:43.593 --> 00:05:46.054
Mozart grew up listening

00:05:46.054 --> 00:05:47.472
to the musical instruments that were

00:05:47.472 --> 00:05:49.390
around him, and I\'m sure he imagined

00:05:49.390 --> 00:05:50.683
different combinations of those

00:05:50.683 --> 00:05:51.934
things.

00:05:51.934 --> 00:05:53.227
But how do you imagine something

00:05:53.227 --> 00:05:54.395
that doesn\'t exist yet?

00:06:02.070 --> 00:06:03.821
He adapted a guitar, he adapted to

00:06:03.821 --> 00:06:05.782
build a reed organ, and

00:06:05.782 --> 00:06:07.784
then his it was Dr.

00:06:07.784 --> 00:06:08.785
Seuss time.

00:06:11.871 --> 00:06:12.955
And.

00:06:25.635 --> 00:06:27.553
Right hand strokes this way are

00:06:27.553 --> 00:06:28.554
major

00:06:30.056 --> 00:06:31.057
and.

00:06:31.849 --> 00:06:34.102
And then a hack on a hex idol basis

00:06:37.355 --> 00:06:39.357
so far, left hand strokes are minor

00:06:42.693 --> 00:06:44.529
and then the head total bases

00:06:44.529 --> 00:06:45.530
underneath

00:06:46.781 --> 00:06:49.450
this section I call the garden tree.

00:06:49.450 --> 00:06:50.827
You go into this and you got the

00:06:50.827 --> 00:06:51.119
same

00:06:51.119 --> 00:06:52.120
tone as you go.

00:07:02.588 --> 00:07:03.589
So.

00:07:11.722 --> 00:07:13.391
Come on forward, because

00:07:15.101 --> 00:07:16.978
somebody has to stand in a place,

00:07:16.978 --> 00:07:18.646
oh, about foreign

00:07:20.273 --> 00:07:21.274
language and.

00:07:23.693 --> 00:07:24.694
This job,

00:07:26.070 --> 00:07:28.197
obviously, he was always single

00:07:28.197 --> 00:07:29.866
minded. That was his concept.

00:07:29.866 --> 00:07:31.701
I mean, he was stuck in a situation

00:07:31.701 --> 00:07:33.161
where nobody really understood where

00:07:33.161 --> 00:07:35.580
the heck he was doing Bam.

00:07:35.580 --> 00:07:36.956
Nineteen thirty four, nineteen

00:07:36.956 --> 00:07:37.874
thirty five.

00:07:37.874 --> 00:07:39.542
There\'s no work anywhere.

00:07:39.542 --> 00:07:41.294
I mean, he was cutting lawns.

00:07:41.294 --> 00:07:43.379
He was doing garden work.

00:07:43.379 --> 00:07:45.173
He was he was doing anything you

00:07:45.173 --> 00:07:47.091
could just to keep alive in order to

00:07:47.091 --> 00:07:48.801
keep his music alive.

00:07:48.801 --> 00:07:49.927
And at one point, he said, You know,

00:07:49.927 --> 00:07:51.262
I\'m tired of begging.

00:07:51.262 --> 00:07:53.139
I\'m just going to forget it

00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:54.474
for a while. And he grabbed his

00:07:54.474 --> 00:07:56.559
viola and he hit the road.

00:07:56.559 --> 00:07:57.393
He was an itinerant.

00:07:57.393 --> 00:07:58.227
He was homeless.

00:07:58.227 --> 00:07:59.937
He worked picking fruit.

00:07:59.937 --> 00:08:01.397
He traveled all up and down the West

00:08:01.397 --> 00:08:03.316
Coast following the crops,

00:08:03.316 --> 00:08:05.359
just like so many immigrants

00:08:05.359 --> 00:08:06.402
do now.

00:08:06.402 --> 00:08:08.237
And even then, he

00:08:08.237 --> 00:08:09.572
said, Here I am.

00:08:09.572 --> 00:08:11.574
I\'m at the fountainhead of American

00:08:11.574 --> 00:08:12.533
music.

00:08:12.533 --> 00:08:14.368
It\'s it\'s the people he

00:08:14.368 --> 00:08:16.162
was here, things like a quarrel and

00:08:16.162 --> 00:08:17.872
a potato patch, right?

00:08:17.872 --> 00:08:19.916
And he would write it down the pitch

00:08:19.916 --> 00:08:20.833
contours.

00:08:20.833 --> 00:08:22.960
Hey, Max, is that like a big enough

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:23.961
to?

00:08:29.842 --> 00:08:30.843
Is.

00:08:38.684 --> 00:08:41.521
I got so

00:08:41.521 --> 00:08:43.105
many guys franchise

00:08:45.775 --> 00:08:46.984
wise, Mr.

00:08:48.236 --> 00:08:49.445
Going east, Mr.

00:08:50.488 --> 00:08:51.405
Going East.

00:08:51.405 --> 00:08:52.406
Mr.

00:08:53.658 --> 00:08:55.076
It\'s so great for you.

00:09:02.708 --> 00:09:04.669
The rest of these guards.

00:09:07.922 --> 00:09:10.716
I guess, are you

00:09:10.716 --> 00:09:12.051
guys in a jam?

00:09:15.596 --> 00:09:17.014
I\'ve never laughed at a piece of

00:09:17.014 --> 00:09:18.349
classical music before.

00:09:18.349 --> 00:09:19.475
What is this?

00:09:19.475 --> 00:09:21.644
How can serious music evoke

00:09:21.644 --> 00:09:23.020
laughter? How can it be funny?

00:09:23.020 --> 00:09:24.564
This is it. No, no, this doesn\'t

00:09:24.564 --> 00:09:25.565
work. Green

00:09:26.524 --> 00:09:27.525
River.

00:09:29.902 --> 00:09:32.029
Why, oh.

00:09:33.322 --> 00:09:34.323
Learn.

00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:40.162
I like to think of what I\'m doing

00:09:40.162 --> 00:09:42.206
is visual and corporeal, and

00:09:43.291 --> 00:09:45.376
I want the instruments on stage

00:09:45.376 --> 00:09:46.794
and I want them to be beautiful.

00:09:46.794 --> 00:09:49.880
I also want the musicians

00:09:49.922 --> 00:09:52.049
to be an

00:09:52.049 --> 00:09:54.302
active part of

00:09:54.302 --> 00:09:56.429
a very active part in the

00:09:56.429 --> 00:09:57.597
whole production.

00:09:57.597 --> 00:09:59.265
I want them to be as graceful as

00:09:59.265 --> 00:10:00.975
Muhammad Ali.

00:10:00.975 --> 00:10:02.935
And actually,

00:10:02.935 --> 00:10:04.061
maybe I don\'t give them some

00:10:04.061 --> 00:10:05.313
exercises skipping rope.

00:10:07.481 --> 00:10:09.233
And I also like them to be in

00:10:09.233 --> 00:10:11.277
costume and with

00:10:11.277 --> 00:10:13.195
with a headdress or

00:10:13.195 --> 00:10:15.031
whatever just to get away from the

00:10:15.031 --> 00:10:16.824
mundane and the pedestrian.

00:10:16.824 --> 00:10:18.993
But my direction

00:10:18.993 --> 00:10:21.037
where I\'m at is an

00:10:21.037 --> 00:10:23.748
ancient ritual in modern terms.

00:10:23.748 --> 00:10:26.125
But he even said, Look, there\'s lots

00:10:26.125 --> 00:10:27.960
of theories, there\'s lots of

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.879
new musical instruments, but all

00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.006
the theories in the world,

00:10:32.006 --> 00:10:34.050
they\'re just without music to back

00:10:34.050 --> 00:10:36.010
them up. They\'re like so many scraps

00:10:36.010 --> 00:10:37.887
of paper in a whirlwind.

00:10:37.887 --> 00:10:39.013
And that\'s what makes parts

00:10:39.013 --> 00:10:40.890
different. It\'s not his materials,

00:10:40.890 --> 00:10:42.600
it\'s what he did with them.

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.143
That\'s the exciting thing.

00:10:44.143 --> 00:10:45.978
Why else would I spend 20 years

00:10:45.978 --> 00:10:48.147
of my life spending thousands

00:10:48.147 --> 00:10:50.066
of hours and many more thousands

00:10:50.066 --> 00:10:51.859
of dollars creating something just

00:10:51.859 --> 00:10:53.444
for an idea? No, no.

00:10:53.444 --> 00:10:54.987
It\'s because the music is so damn

00:10:54.987 --> 00:10:55.988
good.

00:10:59.367 --> 00:11:00.368
And.

00:11:44.453 --> 00:11:45.579
So you say your

00:11:45.579 --> 00:11:47.623
dad is usually

00:11:47.623 --> 00:11:49.375
traveling around the world?

00:11:51.001 --> 00:11:52.002
Tell me, sir.

00:11:53.003 --> 00:11:54.630
Have you ever been arrested before?

00:12:18.237 --> 00:12:20.197
In his own life, he just complained

00:12:20.197 --> 00:12:22.241
he\'d been ignored to death

00:12:22.283 --> 00:12:23.242
his whole life.

00:12:25.161 --> 00:12:27.204
That\'s not the case anymore,

00:12:27.204 --> 00:12:29.415
and for me, what a deep

00:12:29.415 --> 00:12:31.459
pleasure to not only be

00:12:31.459 --> 00:12:32.668
able to make this music because

00:12:32.668 --> 00:12:33.919
that\'s the real treat.

00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.380
You know, as I\'m fond of saying,

00:12:36.380 --> 00:12:38.549
you know, I love performing, but

00:12:38.549 --> 00:12:40.384
my favorite part is being inside

00:12:40.384 --> 00:12:42.011
the music, spending hours and hours

00:12:42.011 --> 00:12:44.013
at home, recreating have.

00:12:44.013 --> 00:12:45.222
This music come off of the

00:12:45.222 --> 00:12:46.932
instruments into my face to be in

00:12:46.932 --> 00:12:48.267
that people to share it with the

00:12:48.267 --> 00:12:49.935
public is fabulous.

00:12:49.935 --> 00:12:51.645
To be able to record it and get it

00:12:51.645 --> 00:12:52.855
out there is incredible.

00:12:52.855 --> 00:12:54.774
And then to get

00:12:54.774 --> 00:12:56.567
a Grammy for that.

00:12:56.567 --> 00:12:57.943
I mean, it doesn\'t get any better

00:12:57.943 --> 00:12:58.944
than that.

00:13:06.494 --> 00:13:08.496
And to hell

00:13:08.496 --> 00:13:09.955
with it. I\'m going to walk.

00:13:18.506 --> 00:13:20.508
My appeal to.

00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:23.427
Under the cold.

00:13:27.431 --> 00:13:29.350
We were drinking heavily

00:13:29.350 --> 00:13:30.351
together.

00:13:35.439 --> 00:13:37.483
Frightened by our orgies, a wild

00:13:37.483 --> 00:13:38.943
herring slammed out of the river

00:13:38.943 --> 00:13:39.944
shallows.

00:13:47.451 --> 00:13:48.661
It was midnight.
